Thank You cards ~ with heat and foil!


Hi everyone!!!! I did these cards for a friend of mine ( that is a realtor) for her to give to her clients.  I thought I would share with you how I made them, but first a few more views!

I used up all of my pre-made cards from Hobby Lobby.  All I needed to do was decorate the front~

Yes, there is a beige set in the bunch but it looks great too!!!.


To put the house image on the card I heat embossed it ( with foil) with my Howard Imprinting Machine.  I got this years ago when I was a Creative Memories Consultant to emboss my customer's CM albums.  The imprinter is also great for invitations, napkins, stationery, pencils and small favor boxes.


Very handy machine to have~if it will fit under the machine, most of the time I can put a name or image on the item.  It works perfect on CM albums:):)


I have several different dies, fonts to imprint with.  I have found these vintage dies while junkin'.  I haven't really made anything, just imprinting to see the image but have several projects in mind.  The deer is a favorite and the large die with numbers, I found that in Jenni Bowlin's booth at the Country Living Show.  I'm always on the look out for something different and unique.
Thanks for stopping by today and I'll see ya soon!
